TD5 Trims

Hi All, Just another thread to see if anyone can offer advice on
removing the centre plastic pillar trims and cills on a Td5. I can see
that there is some type of fixing, but how do I get them off and if I
break any fixings, what type do I need to replace them? I need to run
some cable Etc down the trims and along the floor cill. TIA Dave.

I did have a Diamond K11 gutter mount for the VHF/UHF on the defender,
but even that won't go on the gutter of the disco because it has a ridge
running down the internal gutter edge, so it's magmounts at the moment.
My Hustler HF antenna's were mounted on the rear tow bar of the
defender, but it's a different bracketry system on the Disco now, so
that's destined for a fixing on the rear wheel. VHF/UHF seems to be
going on a bar across the roof bars in the future. Shouldn't of got rid
of my 110 in the first place d;-((
TIA Dave.

OK Dave. I whent the other way. I bought a Discovery in 1991 and only sold
it after I bought my 130. Antennas were easier on the old Disco.

Good luck.
